There is also a difference with a Property Manager that works mostly with investors vs accidental landlords(described as owners that had to move and were unable to sell so now they rent out..not a bad thing but different style/client).I am sure there is some more points I can make but I think you got my drift that it is not a once size fits all. 

Is it possible or inappropriate to bring this up to my agent and ask to reach out to the seller and explain the situation and propose a lower offer that I'd feel more comfortable offering if I went through with the deal and ended up losing my job and had to float the mortgage with savings?

My tenants are having a long standing conflict, the people upstairs are smoking weed outside of their window, and the smoke is drifting into the windows of the people downstairs.

@Bruce Lynn That’s an option I am floating as well.

Look at it from an estate planning wealth transfer as well as how it is taxed. you have a lot of options-Ages of kids and grandparents, amount of money, financial position of everyone, health of individuals, etc will make the Proper options float to the top. 

I can float utility bills for the few months but a majority of my rental revenue goes towards property taxes.  

The average numbers that I see floating around are anywhere from 10-20% increase in home value with the addition of one more full bath.

Just floating it out again to see if there is any further discussion to be had here. 

We have cash reserves saved that could float all three properties for at least one year without taking current cash flow and our day jobs into consideration.

The advantage of this is it will allow you to defer paying your next month’s rent for the 30 day “float” period, and after that to only pay your monthly minimum, thereby helping you to preserve your cash during this exceptional time.
